Bug Description
netbook launcher obviously struggles with the fades under vmware (at least without the vmware-tools, which currently won't compile on intrepid) and crashes after switching tabs a few times.
I had hoped to demonstrate it as a potential future desktop but would have preferred that it were able to run in a virtualised environment. I have ordered a netbook to try a native install nonetheless.
Note: I'm not sure how netbook-launcher relates to ume-launcher; it seems the latter is not installable on intrepid.

Hi,
Netbook-launcher is not guaranteed to run well under WMWare because it requires OpenGL and VMWare does not support GL acceleration. However, if you could send a stack trace or xorg log after this happens, I can determine what's causing this.
